5.2 PTR: Season 13 PvP Armor

Post by perculia

Last week we posted many 3D models of Tier 15 PvE armor coming in Patch 5.2: this week we have most Season 13 PvP sets to share! Since most model names are called "Alliance" or "Horde," it looks like Blizzard may be implementing faction-themed PvP gear. While the Tier 9 PvE sets had different models for the Alliance and Horde, this hasn't been done for PvP since vanilla, before arena seasons were introduced.

Several sets have four color variations, so perhaps the lower ilvl PvP gear will look the same across factions, and the unique Alliance and Horde colors will be reserved for the Elite gear, similar to how Reins of the Vicious War Steed and Horn of the Vicious War Wolf are unique faction rewards for battleground dedication.

Shoulders have now been added to some PvP sets! Enjoy.

What gives do rogues not exist any longer?

All the sets except locks look like @#$% imo. Apparently they want shamans to look like druids and druids to look like shamans in mop. GG blizz

We only found Rogue shoulders, so I left them out for now. Seems there's always one class set that takes longer to finish :)

Wow, that DK set is some boring stuff.

What gives? I know DK's don't have "fear", but that might as well be implemented if you plan on us playing without any pants or underwear. ;) I don't plan on my BE Female running around bare butt naked. LOL

Alayton, who handles our model viewer, is away from his computer with the holidays--I've asked him to investigate the DK pants and some other shoulders when he returns.

So let me get this straight...you've asked Alayton to investigate some missing pants? :P

Umm are there no shoulders or head for the Paladin set currently?

Post by perculia

Alayton pulled up the models while traveling and away from his normal computer--some shoulder models require more time to refine, so he'll update then when he's back and I'll modify the post.

Like the new sets. Definitely look very MoP themed. Exceptionally like the Warlock and Hunter sets. Don't mind the others. They look unique and work with the different race/class combos that I have.

Priests actually look their part. . . not saying that I like it but it fits.

Sets go from extremely lazy design to awesome, they could use some QA at Blizzard

I was about to say that warrior gear looks alot like the Tier 15 you datamined, but you changed that as well. :P

I think two of the Priest sets are swapped. Preview pictures show "Horde" as dark grey and "Dark" as red, but the model viewer shows "Horde" as red and "Dark" as dark grey.

"While the Tier 9 PvE sets had different models for the Alliance and Horde, this hasn't been done for PvP before."

The sets were different in Classic. Then again, different classes just had palette swaps instead of unique models...

I am seriously disappointed with Blizzard's art department. Not because I dislike the PVP sets, on the contrary, but because I feel they do not put the same amount of thought and care into the PVE sets. We're "at war". The PVE sets should also feel more war-like. Some of the PVE sets look like they don't even match the classes that they're made for. The new PVE druid gear, for instance, looks like it belongs on a warlock. However, the druid PVP set is actually pretty decent and more druid-like in design, with the wood accents and horns.

Please, Blizzard, when 80% of the game is based around PVE, put some TLC in the design of the content, like you have for the PVP sets. Looks like I'll be waiting for these sets to go to the HP vendor for transmogs...
